C Programming: Pointers and Memory Management – 4
Learn the key concept of memory usage in programming languages. This course covers advanced pointer usage, dynamic memory allocation, and foundational programming concepts. Gain hands-on coding experience and unlock career opportunities in computer engineering. Discover the importance of C in various industries, including embedded systems, robotics, and IoT. Ranked as the third most in-demand programming language by employers in 2021. Join this course supported by the Patrick & Lina Drahi Foundation. No installation required, code in a browser tool and receive instant feedback. Start your journey to becoming a skilled programmer today.
In this course, we will examine a key concept, foundational to any programming language: the usage of memory.
This course builds upon the basic concept of pointers, discussed in C Programming: Modular Programming and Memory Management, and introduces the more advanced usage of pointers and pointer arithmetic. Arrays of pointers and multidimensional arrays are addressed, and you will learn how to allocate memory for your own data during program execution. This is called dynamic memory allocation at runtime using pointers.
Within moments you will be coding hands-on in a browser tool developed for this course, receiving instant feedback on your code. No need to install anything!
Why learn C and not another programming language? Did you know that smartphones, your car’s navigation system, robots, drones, trains, and almost all electronic devices have some C-code running under the hood? C is used in any circumstance where speed and flexibility are important, such as in embedded systems or high-performance computing.
In this course, you will also gain experience with programming concepts that are foundational to any programming language.
At the end of this course, you will reach the fourth milestone in the C Programming with Linux Specialization, unlocking the door to a career in computer engineering.
Your job Outlook:
– Programmers, developers, engineers, managers, and related industries within scientific computing and data science;
– Embedded systems such as transportation, utility networks, and aerospace;
